Since pgatour.com has become little more than a very fine live scoring tent, peddling little more than "these guys are good" "articles", I have been yearning for a central location on the web where one can find a compendium of the days golf-related articles from around the globe.
It's GolfObserver.com to the rescue!
If it's wintertime, rainy (rain is no excuse not to play mind you), or if you're just plain bored at work, you can get your eyes on a wide range of golf-related material - which makes the winter shorter, turns the rain into a mist, and shortens a tedious work day when you're procrastinating, yet again.
For a prime example, check out this really cool story about Pebble Beach from 1929, published in The American Golfer. The 18th hole looks much the same, if you can ignore the lack of new retaining wall they installed a few years ago to keep the surf from devouring the most famous American golf hole, along with the presence of the majestic pines in the right center of the fairway. Bet it cost less than today's $380 to have looped it back in the day.
